Blue Point Grill 'One Step Closer' To Opening Day In Newtown Township

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — “One step closer” to opening day is what the soon-to-be-open Blue Point Grill is reporting on Facebook.

The Princeton-based seafood eatery is scheduled to open in August at the former Corner Bakery Cafe on West Road at the Newtown Shopping Center and local seafood fans are counting down the days.

“We’re really excited to be in Newtown,” said owner Jack Morrison, who also operates a BPG restaurant in Princeton along with the Witherspoon Grill, Kristine’s, and Nassau Street Seafood & Produce Co.

BPG, a family-owned restaurant that opened its doors in 1999 on Nassau Street, is known for its extensive selection of impeccably-fresh seafood served in a fun, lively family atmosphere.

It’s menu is filled with fresh seafood, including 15 different varieties of East and West coast oysters, 25 different kinds of fish, and classics such as New England clam chowder and lump crab cakes.

In advance of the opening, the new eatery is previewing some of its mouthwatering entrees on its social media pages including:

• Arctic Char, “one of our absolute favorites. Grilled and with your choice of side, this is a true classic Blue Point Grill dish.”

• “Beautiful and delicious scallops, prepared to perfection.”

• “Buttery, grilled Chilean Sea Bass.”

• “A feature from our menu, the Alaskan Sable is absolutely beautiful, from flavor to texture. Grilled and drizzled with olive oil, with a side of your choice.”

“Seafood is what I do,” said Morrison. “I’m 49 years in the industry and I really enjoy it. We have heard for the past 20 years, ‘You need to come to Newtown. You need to come to Newtown.’ We’ve been welcomed from the beginning and we’re really excited to be here.”

The Grill is in the process of hiring for all positions. It will be holding a job fair on July 25 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.“We will be interviewing and hiring on the spot! Send your resume to [email protected] prior to the event. We are excited to meet you all and build a fantastic team!”
